President Trump just landed what he’s calling a “historic and transformative” $600 billion package of commercial agreements with Saudi Arabia, marking one of the largest U.S.-Saudi investment deals ever signed.
What’s on the table:
- $20B from Saudi-backed DataVolt to build U.S.-based AI data centers and energy infrastructure
- $80B in joint tech investments from firms like Google, Oracle, Salesforce, AMD, and Uber
- $2B in U.S. engineering and services exports tied to mega projects like King Salman International Airport
- $14.2B in energy exports from GE Vernova
- $4.8B for Boeing 737 aircraft
- $5.8B in healthcare, including a new IV fluid plant in Michigan
The headline deal: a $142B defense agreement, the largest ever, covering everything from missile defense and air force upgrades to maritime security and battlefield training, with over a dozen U.S. firms involved.
Why it matters: Saudi Arabia is already one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners in the Middle East. With this deal, Trump is deepening a partnership that touches tech, energy, infrastructure, defense, and diplomacy.
Zoom out: this announcement comes just days after a U.S.–UK trade agreement, capping off a big foreign policy win streak for Trump.
